| Abstract | Gender inequality is high in Latin America (LA). Empowering girls and young women and reducing gender gaps has been proposed as a pathway to reduce adolescent pregnancy. We investigated the associations of urban measures of women’s empowerment and gender inequality with adolescent birth rates (ABR) in 366 Latin American cities in nine countries. |
